I know it's still November, but I'm a Christmas person. Once Halloween is over, I consider it Christmas season. November 1st is the first day of Christmas in my book. There are people who will argue with me and say that Thanksgiving is the best because we get to stuff our faces with good food and dress nicely just to go to the living room, and while I think that Thanksgiving is fun, it's nothing compared to Christmas.
Whatever your favorite holiday is, I think that we can all agree that Christmas has some pretty awesome songs. Here are 25 Christmas songs that you can blast on repeat every day in December until Christmas.
1. "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" - Michael Bublé
2. "All I Want for Christmas is You" - Mariah Carey
3. "Let it Snow" - Frank Sinatra
4. "Jingle Bell Rock" - Brenda Lee
5. "Little Drummer Boy" - Ray Charles
6. "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" - Thurl Ravenscroft
7. "Carol of the Bells" - Trans-Siberian Orchestra
8. "Baby It's Cold Outside" - Idina Menzel and Michael Bublé
9. "Sleigh Ride" - Leroy Anderson
10. "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" - Bruce Springsteen
11. "Last Christmas" - Taylor Swift
12. "White Christmas" - The Drifters
13. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" - Michael Bublé
14. "Mele Kalikimaka" - Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters
15. "Feliz Navidad" - Jose Feliciano
16. "O Holy Night" - Celine Dion
17. "Christmas Song" - Alvin and the Chipmunks
18. "Where Are You Christmas?" - Faith Hill
19. "Do You Hear What I Hear?" - Carrie Underwood
20. "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" - The Jackson 5
21. "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" - Destiny's Child
22. "Jingle Bells" - Frank Sinatra
23. "Deck the Halls" - Nat King Cole
24. "Hallelujah" - Pentatonix
25. "Holly Jolly Christmas" - Holly Jolly Christmas
Full disclosure--these aren't in any order. I'm not saying "Hallelujah" by the Pentatonix is the worst of these songs, and I'm not saying that "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" by Michael Bublé is the best song on this list (let's be real, we all know the best Christmas song is "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey).
I'm also not saying that these are the only artists who sing these songs, I'm just saying that I like the Taylor Swift version better than Wham!'s version of "Last Christmas." I know that Christmas isn't the only holiday at this time of the year, but holidays are about spreading cheer and happiness to everyone, no matter what they do or don't celebrate. Let's remember to be kind to each other this holiday season, and maybe that will continue after New Year's Eve and 2018 will be the year that everyone settles their differences peacefully.
